GUTTI VANKAYA OR STUFFED BRINJAL CURRY

Hi Friends! here is a very very special andhra dish called "Gutti Vankaya Curry"(Stuffed Brinjal Masala). This dish can make with so many variations. I know 4 variations. This variation is best of them. Very soon, will post the other variations too. This stuffed brinjal is my family's favourite dish. So, here is the recipe:


Ingredients:
Tender Brinjals(baby) : 1/2 kg
Oil to fry
finely chopped coriander leaves

Cumin Seeds(Jeera) : 1tbsp
Tamarind : 1 lemon size

Method:

2. Now heat oil in a pan, fry brinjals for 30 seconds, remove, drain and keep aside.
3. In another pan, heat 1tbsp oil, roast above stuffing ingredients on slow flame by adding one by one. Let them cool and blend them into a fine powder.
4. Take this powder into a bowl, pour little water to make thick paste like chapati dough.
5. Stuff this masala in all half fried brinjals.

8. Finally add finally chopped coriander leaves and turn off the flame.
9. Serve hot with white rice.

Note: Mix brinjals very slowly and carefully otherwise they may be mashed.
